LIFE INTERRUPTED... AGAIN!

Hello, everyone! I'm doing fine!

Unfortunately, my time here on my blog and in the neighborhood is being greatly interrupted while I assist in caring for my aunt; it's really time-consuming trying to run 2 households but I'm holding up okay! Finding good home-care isn't easy either. From the first I didn't care at all for the 2 caregivers already sent out, and there's no way I'd leave my aunt with them. It's not like me to be so judgmental but after meeting them not only didn't I care for them, I wouldn't trust them any further than I could see them!!! So now it's back to following up with more caregivers and more agencies. Not that anyone will probably last long with my aunt anyway as she's so demanding and particular they'd more than likely run away -- fast -- after a few days...lol!!!

I have been working on a small project to have ready to post for my DT project over at Pam's on Friday but I doubt I'll have much time the rest of this week to do anything more for you. My aunt's birthday is tomorrow and I'm still trying to contact a few family folks I haven't been able to reach yet to come over Saturday to help celebrate her turning 90!!!

Well, I had to drop by and let you know I was thinking of you, and missing you. As of right now, until things straighten out, this is probably how erratic my life is going to be for a minute; I'll be in and out when I can but although God knows I'm doing my best, it's difficult trying to find a little extra time.

However, I do hope you'll try to join me here or over at Pam's on Friday. I'll have a simple and fast project but a cute one which would be a great gift idea. I think you'll like it!

You are so special to me. I know how that could be, I have done that work for sometime now. My heart can't take another one getting sicker or passing. I love the way you take care of her, not all are there for the person. I will be praying that God will send you the right one. Have a bless day and an awesome weekend

You are an angel! I am sure your aunt appreciates all you are doing for her! Plus as hard at it may seem some days...the reward is always worth it! To know that she is being cared for the way you would want to be cared for! It is really sad these days that good help is so very hard to find! I wish you all the best in your searches!!Have a GREAT day!

I no its hard but your aunt is lucky to have such a sweet and caring neice to take care of her. and I think hard to get along with comes with age lol. I will be here when you get back to your time and just remember I am always here if you just want to talk you have my email love you friend take care of your aunt and most of all yourself. hugs

I sure feel for you and what you are going through-the life of a caretaker.Just remember to take care of yourself first and we won't worry so much.Hugs to you and your Aunt for her 90th-I know you will make her day special

I was just thinking of you this morning and was going to pop over and see how things were going. i can so understand, no one ever wants to help and it is so sad. I had to laugh when you said no one would stay, I remember one Christmas I had finally found a care giver for my grandmother. I was home cooking our Christmas dinner and got a phone call and the care giver said they were leaving because my grandmother was so mean, I asked if they would stay till I could get there and they said if I hurried, because they were leaving. I will continue to pray that u will find someone. I am sorry I always go on and on when I leave u a comment. I thought about deleting it. But it took awhile to type all this. Lol I pray that you will find a little time for you.. Hugs

Audrey, I have missed you but what you are doing with your Aunt is more important and comes first, Its hard to trust people these days... so if you have bad vibes about the caregivers, your right to stay with your Aunt, Oprah says that little voice we have is God trying to tell us stuff! Glad you were listening! Well you have a great day my friend and i hope to visit you again soon!

Bless your sweet heart. I know what you are going through, believe me. I wish I were close, because I would MAKE your Aunt like me and I'd help you out as much as I could! Happy Birthday to her and big hugs to you! Curt

I totally agree about good care givers! We had only one for my dad and I was so excited to have help, but she wasted no time in stealing from him. Take care of yourself -- my dad was a 'handful', too, and it wore me out :-) Please wish her a Happy Birthday from me! If I had been on the ball, I would have put a card in the mail -- I haven't made my Mom's yet, either! Have a great weekend!Hugs, Judy

Audrey, I know what you mean life gets in the way. I have not crafted in such a long time, I just can't find the time. It's a great thing your doing for your Aunt, don't forget to take time out for yourself. Take care, Shari (cricutrookie)

You take care of yourself as well Audrey. Sorry I haven't been around much either. I had to take a 2 week trip to Hawaii. Sounds wonderful Huh, NOT.I went to help my daughter for she needed surgery and it rained for 2 weeks straight. This will make you laugh: one morning we even had hail (a 100 year event, figures)the weather people said: look it's raining ice balls from the sky, lol. Anyway I pray for you and your family and hope you find a good health care worker for your aunt. Hugs, Mary

Thank you very much for becoming a follower. I love having you here and I hope you're as inspired by my craft projects as we are by those throughout this great blogging community.

It is a practice of mine to attempt to personally thank all my followers for taking the time and consideration to follow my blog, however, Google Friend Connect does not always provide blog and/or contact information for me to find you. If it is permissible, please leave me a comment with your blog and/or contact information; I'd love to be able, if possible, to drop in on you also (I do not publish personal information provided). My reason, and a goal, for doing this is because I do not take for grantedanyone who has graciously taken time to follow me openly -- you could lurk and I'd never know you were there, although I'd appreciate you just the same. Following is a great compliment, and I appreciate you and your interest!

However, please note that as my blog family grows it takes longer to get around to everyone as quickly as I did when I had only a few followers; therefore, please be patient and I promise I will visit as soon as I can possibly get to you to say "welcome" and to let you know I'm aware you're there.

Thank you again, and I hope you make yourselves at home and come back often -- you're now a part of my family!!!
